Editing Your Blog Posts
The Blog editor brings
you an effortless
page- and
post-building
experience. With
blocks, you can
quickly add and
customize multiple
media and visual
elements that used to
require shortcodes,
custom HTML code, and
embeds. This allows you to freely create unique blog posts that fit within the design and structure of your websites layout.
Adding a
Block
There are many block
types for
you to choose from,
which you’ll see
organized by category
and by most recent
use. You can edit or
move each block
independently of other
blocks, and individual
blocks sometimes come
with their own
formatting settings
for even greater
control over layout
and function.
Configuring a
Block
Each block has its own
settings. To find
them, select a block:
this will reveal a
toolbar at the top of
the block. You’ll also
find additional
settings in the
sidebar to the right
of the editor.
The settings at the top
of the block usually
include formatting
options as well as the
option to change the
block type ([1] in
screenshot
below).
In the editor’s sidebar
you can switch between
settings for the
current block ([2] in
screenshot below) and
settings for the whole
document ([3] in
screenshot
below).
The Document Settings
is where you can add
tags and categories,
choose a featured
image, see and change
the status of your
post, and more — these
are options that apply
to the page or post as
a whole.
You can click the cog
icon at the top right
of the editor to show
or hide the settings
column (in
screenshot
above).
What if you’d like to
change a block type? You can
transform each block
to another similar or
related block type.
For example, change a
paragraph to a
heading, a list, or a
quote.
Removing a Block
To remove a block,
select the block and
click the three dots
right above it. Among
the settings there
you’ll see the option
to remove that
block.
